finish it up Friday, week 18

After two plus years in the making....the books (plural!!!) JUST arrived at my doorstep! It's a very happy finish indeed.

I'm not sure that the Fed Ex delivery woman cared that I'm an author, but she knows now. Actually, she was very gracious and kind and congratulated me. Hey! It's not every day your new book (!!!) gets shipped. I'm going to celebrate this for all it's worth!

I'm selling signed copies in my shop. For those of you who pre-ordered them, thank you! I'll be working my way though the orders soon!

Now it's your turn! You know the drill. Link away with your finishes! And a very happy Friday to you!!!

Congratularions, Amanda! It would be wonderful having one of these nice books signed by you... Can you send it to Spain for a reasonable shipping cost?My finish this week, a present for my daughter. Muchos besos,Elenahttp://cosiendo.suenos.blogspot.com

I have to say, my book came today too! Pre-ordered in December was thrilled last week when Amazon emailed and told me it would be shipping a month early! This book is so well written, I cannot wait to read every single word! (note, I usually buy books, look at the projects and put it on the shelf) I have already made the kiddies wait through the wagon train at school so I could read at least some of it!

a great big congrats sweetie,,,,,thank you for your extra care in explaining how do do everything so simply,,,,,,,its ladies like you that i learned to make my first quilts and i keep coming back for me,,,,,,,,,,,,WOOOHOOOOOOO,,,YOU GO GIRL,,,,,:))

So happy for you! I just went to your shop and bought an early copy! Can't wait to see it when they arrive. Thank you for all of your wonderful tips on your blog. Buying a copy of your book is the LEAST I could do to say thanks! Plus I know I'll love the book! :)

Congratulations Amanda Jean. I got home from work to find my copy that I had pre-ordered from Amazon in my mailbox. Yay!! I just thumbed through it and will go back more thoroughly in a bit, but there are so many things in there that I'd like to make. It's a beautiful book. Thanks to you and Cheryl for writing it.

I sent my husband a link really hoping he'd take the hint and actually act on it... :)

But, in any case...It almost feels like I'm celebrating for a dear friend as you've been so gracious to share so much about quilting with us. I'm just tickled pink that they arrived and can't wait to get my hands on it...

Congrats to you on this awesome accomplishment. I wish you all the success in the world.

I just got notification from Amazon that your book is shipped and coming to my house!! I am so excited, too bad I didn't know I could get one with your signature!!Congrats, this is a great accomplishment.

I just ordered two copies of your book on amazon.com. I check your blog daily; and am inspired by your work. Thanks for writing a book so we can all join in the fun. I intend to give a copy to my friend who took me to our local quilt show yesterday and wheel me around. I had spinal surgery 2 weeks ago and cannot quilt at my machine for weeks. I think your book is the perfect thank-you. Congratulations.
